How can you not love the cuteness!
In all seriousness, the movie WAS adorable, but it was also good! The sparse dialog was well written and well voice acted. Political themes were there, but not OMG LOOK AT ME I'M A POINT. You came out of the movie with a slightly altered point of view of the world.
I have NEVER heard a theater go so silent as during some parts of this movie. You honestly could hear a pin drop, people weren't even chewing. I, being the ADD queen, noticed this but it held my attention so much that I didn't even consider breaking the silence, let alone moving!
I've read reports from others saying the same thing, AND saying that people spontaneously cheered for parts of it. I don't count the cheering at Snakes on a Plane, and other than that I can't think of the last movie I was at that held peoples' emotions so well that they'd cheer.
I don't want to get into the plot, I hate it when movies are spoiled. No matter who you are, where you are, what subset of culture you subscribe to, GO SEE THIS MOVIE.
One friend of mine put it best when he called it "the only great Science Fiction Movie to have come out in recent memory". Yea some decent remakes of books have come out, but nothing original! (Note to self, rant about downfall of scifi later)
Ok, must go pay the bills. I leave you with more cuteness:

I recently watched the movie, on a DVD (since I barely ever had the chance to go to the movies)..
believe me, I also paused on some touching part of the movie, and smiling myself on other parts.
this is the most touching movie I've ever watched this year!
